Our project would involve a survey testing how powerful attractiveness can be. We would like to intertwine three personality traits with persons whom we consider somewhat attractive and see how many of those who rated the person attractive would still say that the same person was attractive after getting a closer look into the person's life. Our three traits are success, faithfulness, and kindness. For example, if a person were successful and mean would that person still be attractive in the opinion of the person being questioned. Our goal is to see what traits people with tolerate, good or bad, in order to be with a person who, in society's eyes, is very attractive.
Our prediction is that we will get some evidence that people will date a person based on looks alone. However, due to our results in class with our poster presentation, we also believe that there will be more people who would rather date an unsuccessful person who is faithful, rather than an attractive sleeze ball.
